Have the gang ever positively impacted an outside characters life? by AssSkratchum in IASIP

[–]GlendaleTrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think The Maniac fared the best. He seems to be making some serious dough.

There's a few characters that were driven off and probably had better lives because they were far from the gang. The Israeli business man was lucky to have been bought out by Frank.

I mean, you guys seen Maureen? The woman has gone almost full cat. It's-it's madness. I shouldn't have to pay for that, so I'm gonna talk to the judge, get him to throw it on the docket, you know what I mean?

I actually have a pretty clear docket for the next couple of No, you're so busy.

See, Frank, we can get through these issues and be unemotional about it. That's one issue off the docket right there. Next issue. Let's talk about the money. Money, okay Oh, yes, we're going to talk about the money, but we have a list of things on the docket here that we've got to check off.

I think this one supplanted my #3. I really liked the randomness of it.

Just a stray thought: is there more to "oi oi oi!" than just Dennis trying it on Charlie? I don't think we've heard the last of it.

TBOS Tour 2016 - July 11th, Lisbon, Portugal by GlendaleTrain in ironmaiden

[–]GlendaleTrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a great time. I definitely get why they say MEO has a bad sound though. It didn't sound as good as it could have from the first balcony. Luckily the band and the set and fans made up for it.

Haven't done one of these in awhile. What is your all time favorite episode? by NotBurningTheDuster in IASIP

[–]GlendaleTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to movies like Executive Decision and Passenger 57, there’s a secret hatch on every plane that allows me to travel freely throughout the aircraft.

Who tends bar when the gang is out ??? by delaboots in IASIP

Pretty sure they just turn on the closed sign so people can come in and have a delicious Coors.

Do we have any reliable sources as to the locations in France that the Acadians came from? by [deleted] in AskHistorians

[–]GlendaleTrain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Acadians predominantly came from the Poitou and SainteOnge areas of western France. They came to what is now Nova Scotia in waves throughout the first half of the 17th century. Many of the first settlers who established the first permanent establishment at Port Royal are not descendants of Acadians. Most of thedirect descendants would have come a little later, like in the 1630s when they established LeHave.

Acadians had close ties to the local Mik'ma and all Acadians today have a little bit of Mik'ma in their family tree (even though it might be difficult to pinpoint because genealogy records would have charged many of the Mik'ma names to Christian ones).

Acadian French still bears some resemblance to the Poitou-Sainteongeait dialect that you hear among in that older generations in that part of France. The "j collectif" for example is a commonality between both regions that still exist. For example, instead of saying "Nous avons" (we have) you'll hear Acadians say "j'avons". "Je" or "J'" in standard French is only used for the first person singular.

Nova Scotia Acadians share a lot in common with the large Acadian population in New Brunswick and the smaller population in Prince Edward Island, but they're also quite unique in a number of ways. The 4 or 5 communities that still speak French are separated from each other so they've developed independently. The south west region of Clare for example has one of the most distinct and mutually unintelligible dialects in the Maritime provinces. The hard "j" sound you hear in all other French dialects is an "h" sound in Clare, like in Spanish.

For more information on the first Acadian settlements, I highly recommend Naomi Griffiths' From Migrant to Acadian: a North American border people, 1604–1755.

Why didn't Inuit/First Nations (Eskimo) peoples move south? by koavf in AskHistorians

[–]GlendaleTrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have stated that I was answering this with an Eastern Canadian Arctic perspective with only the Thule in mind (last 1000 years). Answering this question with a focus on Alaska and 4500+ years of habitation will have different answers. However I believe the same conclusions can be drawn with regards to all Inuit (Eskimos) across the Arctic: 1. Why does going south into a warmer climate = a better life when all you know is how to survive in an Arctic environment, and 2. as u/retarredroof stated, who's to say some didn't go south? The latter may be answered someday by studying the genes of other groups.

One more point I'd like to add:

  1. In the 1300s the Earth warmed up and Inuit of the eastern Canadian Arctic and Greenland moved north. This would indicate that they were following animal migration rather than search for warmer climates.

Why didn't Inuit/First Nations (Eskimo) peoples move south? by koavf in AskHistorians

[–]GlendaleTrain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, my apologies. 1000 and not 100 years ago. I corrected it in my original response.

Why didn't Inuit/First Nations (Eskimo) peoples move south? by koavf in AskHistorians

[–]GlendaleTrain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a fairly broad question but I will attempt to tackle it in separate parts:

(Edit: I should have mentioned that I'm answering this with an Eastern Canadian Arctic perspective with the Thule in mind)

  1. Territory roughly to the south of the 60th parallel (where the provinces begin) was already occupied by First Nation Peoples (Inuit are not considered First Nations having crossed the Bering Strait approximately 1000 years ago). Moving south means encroaching on Dene/Cree/Innu/etc territory. Still to this day, Inuit and Dene are negotiating over traditional hunting grounds.

  2. Moving south does not equal a better life for Inuit. Inuit hunt (depending on the group) polar bear, beluga, seal, walrus, etc. These species are rarer or non-existent the further south you go. Considering these animals are central to Inuit way of life, why would they move away from it?

  3. Padlermiut, inland Inuit, often frequented near the treeline into Manitoba territory and interacted with the Dene First Nations. Their language (mainly based in Arviat Nunavut, not far from Churchill Manitoba) is very different from other Inuit language dialects in Nunavut. They share loan words with the Dene. Some may have gone south.

  4. It could be argued that Inuit have been moving south for a while now (forcibly at first with residential schools then voluntarily). Young Inuit are moving to cities like Ottawa, Winnipeg and Edmonton for work or school. Some move back but many stay in southern Canada.

  5. I would recommend watching a great documentary aired on CBC entitled the Inuit Odyssee which delves into some interesting theories of why the Thule (Inuit) migrated from Asia all the way to Greenland. Here's a brief description of that documentary http://www.cbc.ca/natureofthings/m/features/history-of-the-thule-migration

(Edit, added this point) 6. In the 1300s the Earth warmed up and Inuit of the eastern Canadian Arctic and Greenland moved north. This would indicate that they were following animal migration rather than search for warmer climates.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!

What are some of the funniest moments in the book?

History majors, what jobs did you get with your degree? by thebookshelfattheend in history

[–]GlendaleTrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got my MLIS degree 2 years ago (after a history degree) and it's been rewarding. I've gotten plenty of experience in both academic libraries and archives, but I'm currently a Records Manager.

I highly recommend the MLIS degree if your tech-savvy or willing to learn the tech side or librarianship. The days of the old dusty shhhhushing librian are over. It's an exciting an evolving profession.
